Black Dog Happy by Danny Berardinelli

$14.99

 

Berardinelli brings to all his work (and I have seen much) a fine mix of wit, sensitivity to things human, and deep reading.  He is a gifted writer in the classic tradition.

–Professor Donald Hassler, author of Comic Tones in Science Fiction and recipient of the Eaton Award for best critical book on Science Fiction

 

Danny Berardinelli offers a sometimes playful, sometimes sobering or even disturbing take on animals, Indians, memories, art, history, and domestic life in these tightly constructed and highly allusive poems.  He has a knack for surprise endings, loves to disrupt common idioms, and favors an irony that can be alternately gentle or savage.

–Professor Larry Andrews, Emeritus Dean, Honors Colllege, Kent State University

Daniel Berardinelli taught in the English Department and Honors College at Kent State University for thirty-one years.  His teaching awards included The Distinguished Instructor Award (Honors College) and The Excellence in Accessibility Award in Recognition of Outstanding Support Provided to Students with Disabilities.  In 2016 he retired and now lives with his wife Patricia and a house full of rescued cats.  His first book of poems, Black Dog Happy, reflects his admittedly obsessive feelings of connection to animals, plants, and cultures that have historically defended Mother Earth.  He is currently working on a creative nonfiction account of how his father’s stories of WWII in the South Pacific shaped his reactions to the Vietnam era, especially during his freshman year at Kent State when four students were killed during the unrest of May, 1970.
